And under 12 years old, he wore the surname of the Father, but because of the mother who flourished in the USSR, the mother, with the consent of all the relatives, changed the son of the sown. So changed Harry Casparov nationality, turning from the Jewish boy to Armenian.

By the time the father's father was no longer alive - he died of lymphosarcoma in 1970. But about the talent of the son Kim Moiseevich managed to find out - the kid at the age of 5 suggested the Father's faithful decision of a chess etude published in the newspaper. Then Dad and began to seriously engage in Harry.

At 7 years old, the boy, as it should be, became a first-grader. At the same time, he began to attend a chess circle in the Baku House of Pioneers, where the unique abilities of the child immediately noted his first coach - Oleg Podorovsky. Already at 10 years old, the boy participated in serious youthful competitions. And once fate smiled Harry - his famous master Alexander Nikitin saw his game.

Under the guidance of this coach, the sports growth of young Kasparov continued. It is with the filing of Nikitin that the young chess player falls to the school Mikhail Botvinnik - whose name then sounded everywhere. The ex-champion of the world chess adopted young talent to his fenats.

And Harry did not let down his mentors. His successes were so significant that Botvinnik personally "knocked out" a scholarship for Kasparov and achieved that the young man was engaged in an individual program.

Formation of the future chess player

The efforts of coaches and the ward surpassed all expectations. Soon the chess player Harry Kasparov became known far beyond the limits of Azerbaijan and the Soviet Union. In 1976, he became the winner of the USSR Championship in junior chess. And this is in a 12-year-old age! Two years later, already having the title of candidate for the master of sports, Kasparov early wins the tournament Memorial Sokolsky, which involves eminent grandmasters. And gets the title of Master.

A year later, Harry visited Europe and became the winner of the international tournament in the city of Banya-Luka, passing out the norm of the international grandmaster. The stunning success was possible, of course, thanks:

1. Analytical warehouse of the mind.
2. Stubborn work.
3. Clear settings of the coach.

The mentor achieved that young talent for the first time turned out to be abroad. And to support the talented young man took himself, who in those years was the first secretary of the KP of Azerbaijan - guardianship from his part more than once helped Kasparov. After all, the KGB could not be called a loyal organization, and the biography of Harry Kasparov, the one that refers to childhood, slightly "confused" by a caring mother.

Achievements

In 1980, Harry ends middle school, he is a gold medalist. As for the sports career, by this time he has a very solid track record and the title of grandmaster of the international class.

And here she is a victory! 1985 announced the world that the chess crown was hoisted on Kasparov's head. He was thirteenth! He was called great and terrible! And then Karpov, after that, once again tried to "throw off" Armenian from a pedestal, but unsuccessfully.

Sports, Politics, Charity

A proud man is difficult to humiliate and put on his knees. So Casparov, when his opinion is undeservedly "bypassed", demonstratively came out of the international organization of FIDE chess players. It happened in 1993. Now he played under the auspices of Psha. For this Kasparov was deprived of the world title according to FIDE. But it did not prevent him from playing.

Childhood and youth

Harry Kimovich Kasparov (nee Vineshin) was born on April 13, 1963 in Baku. Garik's parents - Father Kim Moiseevich Vinstein (Jew by nationality) and Mother Clara Shagenovna Kasparova (Armenian) were engineers. Up to 11 years, Harry wore the surname of the Father, however, his mother, frightened by the turnover of anti-Semitic sentiment, decided to give him his surname.

According to some information, the parents discovered the non-residential talent of the Son, when he helped his father to solve the chess etude. According to the Soviet tradition, the boy was given to the section at the House of Pioneers. After the death of the father who deceased from Sarcoma, the mother quit from the Research Institute and completely devoted himself to the career of the future champion.

Despite the children's dreams about the profession of a doctor (so he wanted to save the incurablely sick father), the first serious success came to him in chess - in 9 years old Kasparov, the first crown, and at 10 years old already CCM. Soon he leaves for his studies at the Botvinnik school, where he was on the recommendation of his future mentor Alexander Nikitin.

The confrontation "Two K"

One of the most important pages of the biography of the great chess player is devoted to the confrontation with the principal rival, the 12th world champion. Their first match for the chess crown began in September 1984. Then, few people have already remembered that in 1975, at the session of the simultaneous game against Karpov, the young Harry managed to achieve an equal position, but because of the annoying mistake lost (see the party below, in the section "Selection of parties").

After the ninth party, Karpov won 4: 0 (for the conquest of the championship it was necessary to 6 wins), after which Kasparov changed the tactics and began to frankly play a draw. It is not surprising that then 17 parties followed without victories, after what Karpov won again. Nobody knew that an unprecedented chess marathon would last 48 parties and ended with the decision of the then President FIDE Florencio Campomanes ahead of schedule to finish the match. By that time Karpov led in the account 5: 3. Despite the desire of both parties to continue the duel, there was no solution.

At the FIDE held after this Congress, changes were made to the Rules for the title of world champion of the world. Now he consisted of 24 parties on the results of which the winner was announced. In case of equality of points, the crown retained the current champion.

September 3, 1985, began a re-match. And this time, the intrigue remained until the very end. The rivals alternately went ahead, carp after the 4th, and Kasparov after the 16th Party. It turned out to be a turning point. Winning another batch of Kasparov no longer missed the victory from the hands. As a result, 13:11 in favor of the applicant. Not yet reached 23 years old, Harry Kasparov became the youngest world champion in history. After that, three more matches will follow (1986, 1987, 1990), in each of which Kasparov will be stronger.

Then no one else knew that the confrontation of the "two K" would be out of the limits of a chessboard and will fall into the struggle of a single hero (Kasparov) and a supporter of official power (Karpova).

Literary creativity

Harry Kimovich has many publications as a writer and a journalist. Among the most famous and resonant works, the autobiography of the chess player, published for the first time in English in 1987, called the "Child of Changes". Later, the book was Russified and changed the name to the "Unlimited Duel". Since 2003, in collaboration with journalist Dmitry Plisetsky, he creates a literary cycle "My Great Predecessors" in which it describes in detail the biography, as well as creative innovations of chess champions of an earlier period. In addition, in the fivetomy of the most interesting parties with their participation.

Dissenter

Back in the late 80s. Harry Kimovich joined the desperate struggle against the Almighty Fide. Then he initiates the emergence of the International Association of Grassmasters. Later, I categorically disagree with the politics of the world chess organization, he together with N. Short announces in 1993 to hold a match against each other under the auspices of the newly created professional chess association. This led to the temporary exclusion of the grandmaster from FIDE rating, where he was soon restored. After the dissolution of PSH, Kasparov took part in creating a new opposition structure of the World Chess Council.

Fights against computer

Kasparov stood at the origins of the confrontation of a person against artificial intelligence. He first measured forces with a computer back in 1989. Then chess programs were still not perfect at all, so the great chess player did not leave the chance of the car, easily defeating in two parties. In 1996, the American company IBM prepared for the world champion of a formidable opponent in the face of the supercomputer "Deep Blue". The match, held in Philadelphia, ended the victory of Kasparov 4: 2. Already then, an amazing fact was recorded - the loss of the current champion machine in the classic chess format. However, the next year the whole world led to the news of the victory of artificial intelligence. Despite the tense struggle, Casparov lost to the 2.5: 3.5 account.

Since then, many strongest chess players have tried to play with a computer and often lost, such as, for example, in a commemorative match against Deep Fritz. The words of Harry Kimovich that there is no chance of the classic chess on the computer against a person, there were no prophetic. Today, even on ordinary tablets, there are many applications that play at the level of the grandmaster, and the most powerful programs have the power of a game greater than 3,000 units on the ELO system.

In the late 90s, Kasparov became interested in the idea of \u200b\u200bpromoting chess to the World Wide Network, organizing the thematic portal "Kasparov Club". In 1999, under the auspices of Microsoft, he holds an unusual match against the whole world and wins him.

Clara Shagenovna will be a personal press secretary of the Son, in its jurisdiction to receive phone calls, negotiate, to solve with whom you can connect, and who do not. It will not move away from the son.

"Call Clare Shagenovna"

For all the questions about the former call, the parents of one of the wives of Kasparov Yuli answered: "Call Clare Shagenovna." In person questions, the effect of energetic mom was also very large.

To the hobbies of temperamental harry, it treated calmly - the main thing is to follow the regime. They wrote that the future champion could calmly bring two prostitutes at once. Mom only carefully watched Garik not violated the schedule of classes and training. If he left the house, he was constantly in touch.

About their relationship with women in the young years of Kasparov responded like this:

"At 22, I became the world champion, I had money, status, opportunities. All this created a lot of temptations. Therefore, life, let's say, was pretty messy. Fans of the entrance did not precipitate, but there is something to remember. Sumbura was less than we can assume, but still enough. "

Roman with Marina Neelan

In 1984, Kasparov got acquainted with the actress Marina Neelan. He was 21 years old, she was 37 years old, but did not feel the difference in the age of lovers. Their romance lasted two years and ended with a gap. The actress admitted to his beloved man, which is pregnant, did not accept the kasparov. Since then, they never communicated again.

The first meeting of the new actress and the youngest challenger on the title of world champion in the history of Chess occurred in the theater. He saw her as Masha in Chekhov's "Three Sisters". But a personal acquaintance occurred in the star of the Star Sophisticate Couple - the coach in figure skating Tatiana Tarasova and Pianist Vladimir Krasov.

Neelova was in the hall during all his matches, sitting next to the grandmaster, Clara Schagenova. They say they were called them: "Two moms."

However, exactly the mother of Kasparov and prevented their novel. She believed that these relationships could be a hindrance in the career of the Son. Harry listened to the mother and broke with Neelan. Marina at that time was already pregnant. "This is not our child," said Clara Shagenovna Press. And she said to her son: "You marry only Russian Masha!"

Proud actress once and forever crossed the man who made her man from his life. In 1987, Marina Neelova gave birth to a daughter, the girl was called Nick. She was almost forty when she became a mom.

Masha's wife

Kasparov married Maria Arapova, when it came to be cooled. Settling in Moscow, Kasparov lived in two "suites" of Azerbaijani post prunes. All the time with the young wife he spent there, but they went to a small-sized one-bedroom apartment of Spouses, where she lived with her grandmother.

Breakfast, the young people returned to Clara Shagenovna, who did not trust anyone to take care of the son's diet. As before, she watched Harry's wardrobe.

Clara Shagenovna will not forgive Masha her mistakes. For example, the fact that that will offer her husband to buy a mother's mom separately from them. As soon as Harry and Masha had a daughter of Polina, a young family finally gave a crack. All the car attention switched to the daughter.

Harry rarely visited his wife and daughter abroad, where she left to give birth. Soon he said to the spouse that matured for a divorce. They began to communicate only through lawyers.

After the divorce, Maria is recognized to journalists: "I was disappointed in Harry. I would not want to hang labels. God him judge. "
